	While I am by no means a Corba genius (nor have I written any
code at all, FWIW) I was around to listen in on the CORBA conversation.
While I don't remember any specific mention of TAO as the Orb of choice,
it was mainly about MICO.  That was the original ORB used by Gnome,
but it was pretty bloated and slow... so it was replaced by Orbit, the
most excellent implementation from (I think) Elliot Lee. 

	Gnome Guru coder guys, please correct me if I'm wrong.
